Brewery Arts Centre will be hosting a group of young artists over the summer to showcase their work.
The culmination of a project called Nurturing Creativity will feature in an exhibition at Brewery Arts in Kendal on 14 July and run until 3 September.
It is free and will be open Tuesday - Saturday 11am - 4pm each week.
The showcases will take place in front of an invited audience of established arts organisations on 20 July.
Nurturing Creativity is a group of nine artists that were awarded funding by Folded Zine, The Knotted Project and Brewery Arts. The money initially came from the Arts Council.
The artists had to demonstrate how it would help them boost their creative careers to receive the funding.
Artists were briefed to respond to Covid and explore the relationship between wellbeing, creativity and the rural landscape for the project.
The artists include:
- Gemma Bailey, who paints her sketchbook drawings she makes on walks in the Lakes.
- Billy White, a photograher that produced a short film using the Dales landscape as a backdrop.
- Isobel Mortimer, who combined music, sound and community voice into 'Our Windermere.'
- Phoebe Rodway, a dancer.
- Melissa Davies, a poet.
- Orla Collier, a dancer.
- Jessica Aughton, a comic book creator.
